Reaching the nations with the Gospel

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16  As Christians we need to have a global vision, because our God is the God of the whole world.  Many times we keep the vision of God within our Church walls and around us, but His plan is and has always been to reach all the nations.  He wants us to begin to ask Him for the nations.    I like the story about a guy once who prayed so much for the missionaries in Africa, that he ended up becoming one himself.  "Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as inheritance, and as your possesion the ends of the earth." Psalms 2:8  We need to be bold with God, we sometimes bore Him with our prayers for small things, like:  "help me at work today," or "help me to not get bored at church today," or "help me to love my neighbor more," it is time to leave childish things behind.  "When I was a child I thought as a child, I spoke as a child; but when I became a man, I let aside childish things." 1 Cor 13:11  The nations of the world will only be reached by those who are "bold and courageous" Joshua 1:7 and are willing to give themselves wholly to the Great Commission of Matthew 28.  God will back up every effort that is made to take the Gospel to the end of the earth.
